Caring About Our Country
 We are always getting lots of questions and of course corrections when someone spots something we have wrong. So we thought we'd take this space to start a blog sharing interesting things you might like to know.
For those unfamiliar with the word 'blog', it's an online journal of comments and information.

Is it true there are more kangaroos in Australia than people? Did Slim Dusty really write the song G'day, G'day? Is Uluru or Mt. Augustus the biggest? Is jaffa a lolly or cricket slang? What American holidays are celebrated here?
Some questions we get are very serious and some are really funny.
A mate of ours who visited America years ago said he was truly disappointed because he couldn't find any Bay Watch girls at the beaches there. He's rather a boofhead so he thought the TV show was real.
So it's not surprising that people ask us things like "do you all say "Crikey!" like
Steve Irwin was heard to say. The answer is a resounding no. And those that used to occasionally say it, no longer do.
People used to tease Steve about it, but he was a pretty good bloke and took
it with good humour. We admire the way he always encouraged people to appreciate and take care of Australia's land and wildlife. And if we can love our truly unique and talented
 Dame Edna, why not Steve.
